Roy Crawford

I'm Roy M. Crawford, a Washington-based journalist with more than five years of experience across local news publishing, covering national and political affairs, sports journalism, entertainment reporting, celebrity news and profiles, technology, international affairs, automotive, gaming, and trending cultural stories. Working inside local newsrooms teaches you to cover what the day puts in front of you, and that background is what shaped the editorial range Up Front Journal operates across. I founded this publication in May 2026 with a team of editors and researchers behind me, built around one standard: every story published here, whether it runs in sports, celebrity coverage, world news, entertainment, or breaking national reporting, goes through the same editorial process. This is my publication, and the reporting standards on this site are the ones I built my career on.
